AMERICAN REBEL: The Dean Reed Story Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am Ukrainian guy and American citizen since 2004.
In spite of some disadvantages I'd say, "It was good documentary movie". Disadvantages are no option to turn subtitles ON/OFF and no scene selection feature.
(I wanted subtitles because sometimes I do not catch some words. English is not native language for me.)
However I understand that Ohio River Films did not have a good budget.
I liked listening songs performing by Dean Reed on radio or TV in my late teenager years. (It was beginning of 80-s. I did live in Kiev, Ukraine.) I listened the information about this man from different news. I watched movies "Blood Brothers" and "Sing, Cowboy, Sing" made in German Democratic Republic (It is Eastern Germany.) and translated into Russian. In the United States I rented movie "Adios Sabata."
However this movie, which is "American Rebel", told me much more about him.
"I don't believe the Soviet culture is an enemy to the American people," Dean Reed said. I like he said, "Soviet" not like ignorant people who say, "Russians."
Probably the confusion was the Russian Federation was a biggest republic of the Soviet Union and sometimes residents of other Soviet republics were called Russians, which was not correct. (An example is Ukraine was the Soviet republic but not Russian republic in time of the Soviet Union.) So I liked Dean knew what he said. I am ex Soviet man and agree that Soviets were not enemies to Americans.
Dean Reed said, "I think all people should have a right to see the culture of other forms, nationalities and countries and also defend own culture at the time." I think it is important for average American even now.
I was also impressed when I listened interview about Dean's Reed attitude to religions. We could understand that Dean was an Atheist. However being an Atheist he did not blaspheme. And also, he believed in things that all world religions did. (It means a peace, goodness, and cooperation between nations, ultimate truth, making life better place for men.)
Dean Reed is no longer with us but this movie is a good memory about him.
Although it is not first documentary movie about Dean Reed in the world but
this is the first one created by an American representative. Will Roberts and his assistants from different countries have done a good job.
